Day Two of Travel

We spent a night in Frankfurt and flew from there to Bangalore. The kids were great on the plane. They slept a good portion of the trip. The Indian food on the plane was delicious! It made us even more excited about the time we will spend eating southern Indian food. We were exhausted upon our arrival to Bangalore. We got off of the plane and the smell was overwhelming. I could hardly breathe. We got through customs and went to baggage claim. There was so much going on. "Big Pimpin'" was blaring in the background.

We collected our bags, everything and everyone arrived safely. We waited a long time for our car and driver before we realized that there was some miscommunication with the driver and no one was coming to meet us at the airport. It was just about then that our eight and a half month old daughter started crying hysterically and then the unfortunate thing happened. Her pacifier fell to the ground. She was very tired and very hungry. Eventually we found a driver and car to take us to our apartment, but our baby was so upset.

Finally, because of our God's goodness, we got all nine of the bags, both kids in car seats, and the double jogger into/on top of the car. The India learning curve was huge. I fed our daughter rice cereal, until I realized she was more tired than hungry. She fell asleep pacifier in mouth and with the spoon I was trying to feed her with in her grip. We got home at roughly 4 am to find the security guards for our building were nowhere to be found. My husband was very determined and jumped over the rod iron gate in search of the guards. I was so excited to see our house in India. When we got into the building at last, we saw that we were locked out of the master bedroom. We would have to wait until our landlord could come over and unlock it.
